PRINCESS MARGARET — Class 466. Petals, pale amaranth pink, with reverse side of 
same being of a rhodamine purple color. The buds in color naturally being of this 
latter color tends toward a very pleasing contrasting effect. On the lower petals there 
is a faint cream tongue in a small blotch of the darker color. Florets, of which eight 
open fully at a time out of 24 buds, are of very good substance, firmly attached and 
perfectiy placed and spaced for exhibition purposes. Good healthy variety and 
propagator. Mid-season.

ROSY DAWN — Class 442. An exhibition and market variety of a good rosy-pink color 
with a decided red blotch in the throat. The 5 inch florets, of which 8-10 open out of

SNOWY RIVER — Class 300. A heavily ruffled pure white exhibition variety, and also 
ideal as a market variety. For exhibition purposes it should have an excellent future, 
due to its very strong stem, having 26 buds strongly attached, and perfectly placed, 
the petals of which have very good substance. Opens 8-10 4-inch florets at a time, 
on a 26-inch flowerhead. Blooms in 100 days. Excellent propagator. 
Price: $8.00 for any size bulb; bulblets $1.00 each. 
STAINED GLASS — Class 370. An entirely new color in gladiolus, according to 
Ridgeway Color Chart — amaranth purple of a lively shade. We feel the best way 
to convey the color to the reader is by stating that when Stained Glass is so placed 
that the sunlight is behind it, it is very reminiscent of a similiarly colored glass often 
found in churches. It is an exceptionally tall grower, early flowering, with a long 
flowerhead on which 8-10 firmly-attached florets open at a time. We promise this 
variety will surely prove itself as an ideal exhibition and market type. Heavy propagator. 
Price: $8.00 for any size bulb; bulblets $1.00 each. 
VINDICATOR — Class 460. A giant deep rose doree in color, with an attractive cream 
blotch. A perfect exhibition variety, having a tall strong stem with 20 or more buds

5 inches across, at a time. Mid-season flowering, and also very good for cut-flower 
purposes.
